The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning that rodent populations – which rely on a banquet of scraps and waste in restaurant dumpsters – are spiking in certain areas.
They are furry and they are furious – and they may be the most desperate of diners to yearn for restaurants to unlock from shutdown.
"Jurisdictions have closed or limited service at restaurants and other commercial establishments to help limit the spread of COVID-19. Community-wide closures have led to a decrease in food available to rodents, especially in dense commercial areas," the CDC said."Some jurisdictions have reported an increase in rodent activity."
Rats have even resorted to cannibalism and infanticide, such as in the restaurant mecca of New York City, according to some reports.
